While I was away last week, The Hunchback of Notre Dame had the nerve to open at La Jolla Playhouse in California. While I get over this, I think it’s the perfect time to share some info about the East-coast aimed production, set to make a home at Paper Mill Playhouse in March of 2015 (before […]
Good morning! Hope you guys are doing well! Muppet Monday is back in action, and I’m excited to share a few pictures from the Sesame Street exhibit currently going strong at the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts. They’re celebrating the 45th anniversary of the groundbreaking children’s show in a big way — sharing artifacts, […]
‘ello! I hope you all had a grand weekend. It was a pretty relaxing, delightfully blustery few days in New York City, and a perfect afternoon to head to The Brooklyn Academy of Music for a showing of the I Am Big Bird documentary — spotlighting the almost 50-year career of Caroll Spinney, the man […]
It’s been a weird summer. For the first time in a long time, James and I did not take a trip anywhere. I didn’t even take a solo trip to visit friends like I did last year. We didn’t go to the beach and, shock of all shocks, we haven’t even gone swimming. The weather’s […]
James and I spent another lovely Saturday afternoon at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. Gosh, I love that place. Currently, the museum is featuring some fantastic World’s Fair footage and a very extensive Chuck Jones exhibit with all kinds of great cartoons I haven’t seen in ages. (I was reminded how […]
My wife is a big fan of The Little Mermaid, so when she found out that the North Carolina Theatre was doing a production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, it was a given that we’d be attending. On Sunday night, August 3rd, we met some friends for dinner at Gravy in downtown Raleigh. Gravy is a […]
This Gothamist article about the “characters” in Times Square from last week fired me up. As if Times Square isn’t clogged enough, I hate walking through there on my way to the gym (the subway I pick up is right there), watching strangers dressed as characters carrying babies and going up to groups of tourists […]
To tell you I was shocked that Newsies announced its August closing date on Broadway this weekend is an understatement. I read about show grosses all the time, and I never once thought it was in trouble. (Even my favorite show message board was surprised.) But this is the truth, after 2.5 years on Broadway, […]
Another Broadway season done, and another great awards show. Even though the telecast is never perfect, never fits exactly what I want it to be, it’s still one of my most top TV watching experiences of the year. So I only guessed 14 categories correctly out of 26 and Aladdin only took home one award (woo-hoo James […]
I am SO happy to have a reason to write about this year’s Tony Awards. Are you excited? I’M EXCITED! I still haven’t seen Aladdin (I know, I know) but I’ve actually gotten to see more shows this season than I thought (If/ Then, Violet, Bridges of Madison County, After Midnight, Hedwig and the Angry […]
